A high-contrast serif with sharp, flared wedge serifs and tapered, calligraphy-like stroke endings. Curves are broad and polished, while joins and terminals snap to fine points, creating a crisp, carved look. Proportions read as display-leaning with robust capitals and compact, rhythmic lowercase; counters stay fairly open despite the heavy main strokes. Numerals and punctuation match the same sculpted contrast and pointed finishing, giving the set a cohesive, assertive texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where the contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and packaging that aims for a premium, fashion-forward feel, and for poster typography that benefits from strong silhouette and dramatic rhythm.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a dramatic black-and-white rhythm that feels suited to fashion and culture contexts. Its sharp terminals and elegant contrast convey refinement and authority, with a slightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms, combining traditional stress with more angular, flared serifs for extra bite. It prioritizes impact and elegance, aiming to create a distinctive, upscale voice in display and editorial settings.
At larger sizes the pointed serifs and hairline connections become a defining detail, producing a sparkling texture across lines. The design maintains a consistent axis and stress, with distinctive wedge-like feet and beak-like terminals that emphasize movement and sophistication.
